Sorry, but I think the painting is horrible, though it’s better than his other works.

Too bad, it was from his figurative period.

What makes him think collectors wouldn’t want to buy
it.....at a discount.

I don’t see why, since the amount of Picasso works are limited and finite. If you love an artist, well, what’s a canvas repair? Still his work. If it were a Van Gogh I’d take it at full price if I could afford full price, (gee it would’ve been nice to buy it from Vinny, for ten bucks...)

Is she responsible?

Take a close look at that painting.

What are the tax write-off or insurance benefits from this little “accident”?

And for whom?

BTW, to paraphrase Mark Twain, Picasso's painting is much better than it looks!

Cheers!

avid collectors -- van Weyenberg cited Steven Spielberg as one -- won't be interested in the tainted work

TREMENDOUS irony there, stating that Steven Spielberg won't be interested in owning a tainted artwork.

I would have thought they would have taken better care of it. I’m surprised a $65 million work of art is displayed in such a way that anyone can get to the surface of it.

I don't see any hole in it.

All seriousness aside, why the hell would they display a fragile $65 million piece in the open, and not protected by a transparent shield?

If she was a serious bidder, she should buy the painting. If not, she shouldn't have gotten anywhere near it.

Why wasn’t a $130 million piece of art protected behind glass or something?

I don’t even want to know what the “collectors” think this expression means.
